HANOVER, N.J. (April 10, 2016) – The New York Red Bulls U-18 tied New England Revolution, 0-0, on Sunday in their second home match of the season at the Red Bulls Training Facility.

New York controlled play in the first half, but could not find the finish. The visitors enjoyed more possession after the break, but were stifled by the hosts, who produced one of their best defensive displays of the season to limit New England’s chances in the run of play.

The Red Bulls U-18 created more chances in the second half and came away frustrated that they could not apply the finish.

“We had one of our better games on Sunday in terms of possession and creating chances,” Man of the Match Mason Deeds said. “Our defense was very strong in their tackles and we were well organized. Everyone was very tuned in and the team is really starring to connect now.”

The next game for the Red Bulls U-18s will be at home on Saturday, April 16, against FC Boston Bolts.

Omir Fernandez opened the scoring for the Red Bulls in the 19th minute to put New York ahead early until New England fought back and took the lead with two goals in a five-minute stretch.

Fernandez scored his second goal of the game in the 54th minute, his 15th of the season, to earn the draw for New York. The Red Bulls U-16s return to action next Saturday when they welcome FC Boston Bolts to the Red Bulls Training Facility.
